Cassie’s Review
With a unique story that takes an emotional look at past choices, Susannah Nix does a fantastic job balancing the heavy emotions with moments of levity.
This book is the third book in the Common Threads series, and has a tie in to the author’s previous book in the series. There is also great cameo appearances of characters from the Knitting in City series by Penny Reid.
This books deals a lot with grief, grief tied to relationships lost, death, and grief due to illness. Donal and Tess have a lot of chemistry, and their second chance romance does have that needed tension that makes it have an enemies to lovers feel as well.
While they both try to learn to trust, and open their hearts again, their agreement to be honest with each other is one of my favorite parts.
This book gives readers proof that love isn’t always found in their 20s or even their 30s. These two characters are in their mid to late 40, and they have so much hope in their future.
